I have given a look to FreeBSD, and in particular the bootloader. There is
the code for `cdboot' and the license is the following :

As far as I know, GRUB started from the *BSD bootloader, and this license is
a free one, AFAIK. Does it cause a problem to start working with it in order
to include the support in GRUB ?
